: August, 2010

Don’t be thrown! Wallingfor Art Walk is the first Wednesday of the month, and even though it seems strange that Labor Day is still six days off, tomorrow is the first Wednesday of the month. So what all is going down this month? Seattle Bank (1227 N. Allen Place, across from Tutta Bella) […]

We reported on Friday that neighborhood was about to adopt a colorful turtle on an intersection close to Hamilton. Well, here’s an update, along with some photos of the nearly completed project: When I left my house at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, I passed a small group of neighbors armed with brooms […]

During the Fremont 5k last year, as we ran up the Burke-Gilman Trail right before crossing Stone Way, I heard a large thud behind me that stopped me dead in my tracks. When I turned around, I saw a man lying on the trail. He was unconscious and clearly wasn’t breathing. Many fellow […]

It sounds like a children’s story doesn’t it? Maybe someday it will be, the touching story of two designs, painted on intersections in a little neighborhood called Wallingford. The Ladybug up at 49th and Burke is getting some company this weekend: a group of neighbors led by Bill Lindberg around Interlake Ave N […]

The SeaFair parades have come and gone, somebody probably won the hydro races, and the last zombie has slunk away from the Fremont Outdoor Movies screen. Bumbershoot is fast approaching. Looks like summer 2010 will soon be an all too brief memory. There are, however, still some things on tap for this […]

Looks like we spoke to soon. Kara Ceriello of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce just sent this: the apparently highly contentious subject of moving the Wallingford FM out to Wford Ave is finito. done. zip, zero, no more. it’s dead, jim. the possibly highly contentious Community Mtg is still on, Tues 8/31 7pm, […]

Trust us when we tell you that we’ve spared you sturm und drang and bring you straight to the happy conclusion (for now). The Wallingford Farmers Market has known for some time now that its home in the parking lot south of Wallingford Center was temporary: a number of Wallingford Center businesses resented […]

All Seattle library locations, including the Wallingford branch, will be closed August 30th through Labor Day, returning to regular schedules again on Tuesday 9/7. The closures are in response to 2010 budget cuts. Closing the libraries for a week will hopefully keep additional operations cuts at bay. For this year anyway. Here’s […]

Neighbors in lower Wallingford often refer to the Institute for Systems Biology as “the biology place.” As good a nickname as any for the non-profit institute built on the concept of systems biology. ISB co-founder Leroy Hood has announced that the Institute has outgrown its Wallingford home and is relocating to South […]

Wallingford-based artists Janusz Pozniak, Rachel Rader, Michelle Rak and Heather Kraft are opening up their studio this Saturday and Sunday for a sale. Their work includes glass, jewelry, accessories and the like. Some photos of their work in the flier at right, or stop by their studio at 4136 Meridian Ave N Saturday […]
